Yeah, perhaps you're right. I was trying to delineate what gets done in maths departments from what gets done in computer science, philosophy or other departments at universities while still falling under the umbrella of mathematics.

Stuff like type theory is rarely done in maths departments (though it sometimes is).
> An additional topic related to this that goes undiscussed is the massive increase in twins

That's not just the realm of IVF. My wife and I have fraternal twins. She was 35 when we conceived. It turns out that as women approach menopause they may drop more than one egg during ovulation. This effect is noticed dramatically at age 35. I think I recall reading that your chances of a natural twins birth goes from < 1% to > 4% at age 35...

And, of course, in addition to that, once you have your first multiples pregnancy the odds of any subsequent pregnancy being a multiples also goes up.
I do this more now. It is easier to see abstractions cross-sectionally (comparing their difference) after the Nth service is running.

Some interesting thoughts in here. I guess the main thing is that there is basically infinite demand for more things in software. You can take almost any feature from any product and come up with new things you would like it to do that would take entire teams of developers to work on.

Software will never get quicker to develop because we will always request the absolute maximum amount of features that the market can stand to afford.

Basically every area has exploded with more features and is still way way behind what people would ideally want. Just look at the difference between Discord and IRC.

It's modern (post Gernsback), optimistic[1] science fiction. How could Musk & Bezos - both sci-fi fans - not like it?

They both believe in "progress". This is viewed as quaint, almost Victorian, in today's intellectual climate. That attitude is on display in the article, which in my view misinterprets the conflict of values as being about economic systems.

[1] The books themselves can be grim, and the characters often troubled and/or miserable, but they are depicted as outliers within the Culture.
I've heard of it, actually. I don't think that's a good reason to enable JavaScript by default any more than it's a good reason to give webpages access to my camera, microphone, and filesystem by default.
Because apparently MDN web docs can exist just fine without Mozilla being the primary funding source?

Web platform docs are surely important, but maintaining MDN is just a matter of funding at this point. If these new funding sources work just as well, what exactly is the problem?

Like it or not, Mozilla's continued existence hinges on Firefox's market share bringing in search engine deals. With their market share falling, the only things they can afford to spend their money on are 1) making their browser more competitive, and 2) building alternative revenue sources.

MDN docs maintenance is neither. It's certainly an asset to end users, but it's a cost center for Mozilla. It's good that other companies are stepping up to fund this. Somebody has to pay for our nice things.

Exactly. I think it works because it makes discussion possible even for the most extreme ideas by reducing the emotional response.

People don’t become racists/terrorists/etc simply because someone told them so. Content removal of speech supporting these ideas doesn’t do any good.

However removing things that break the discussion works. Spamming, flooding, being very rude or provocative, all make the discussion impossible.
Agreed. Often the answer is embedded in the error message, but people see an error and come to a stop instead of reading and thinking.

Ultimately protein all starts with nitrogen fixed by bacteria in the roots.

As animals have no ability to fix nitrogen, they get it only from dietary protein.

Similarly, vitamin B12 is produced in prodigious amounts by bacteria in the colon, but never absorbed there. Lots of animals, notably rabbit and dogs, eat their own crap apparently to get B12 out. We mostly prefer to get it from meat and dairy.
For experiments in the internet realm, people have the ability to start from scratch and don't deal with the shit pile like the web today. Don't like JavaScript? Design protocols and content formats that don't rely on that kind of stuff, like gopher gemini or whatever. (also should we even call this an experiment all these points appear on hackernews front page everyday..)
The point I was trying—perhaps failing—to make, is that it doesn't make much sense to create a web browser that can render "web documents" but not "web apps", since the concept of a "web document" is basically "anything you can access over HTTP", and so a "web browser" — a tool for viewing arbitrary "web documents" — really doesn't work as a concept except by adding some mechanism to execute arbitrary code in the service of viewing those arbitrary documents.

That mechanism doesn't necessarily need to involve code being delivered directly from the same server the document is coming from, mind you. It could instead involve an out-of-band app store, where accessing a URL zero-installs a heavily-sandboxed plugin required to view it, and loads it into the browser. (Implementations of this: iOS App Clips; Sandstorm grains.) But those apps are usually still created by the same developer as the document anyway, so there's little difference between this out-of-band zero-install app approach, and having Turing-complete web documents. Either way, the developer of Boogle Maps can still mine bitcoin in the background while you have the map loaded.

The critique says more about Schiller than about the Culture series. Schiller is determined to view a drastically different culture in terms of present ideologies. He's almost into classic Marxist analysis. That's not helpful.

What he doesn't get about Banks' universe is that the sentient machines are in charge. They treat humans almost as pets. It's a very pleasant society for humans, but the humans are not running it. Now and then the Culture has to deal with people who really want to be in charge, and it usually finds a place for them, elsewhere.

According to Wikipedia, it was bought by IBT Media in 2013, then spun-off as an independent entity in 2018 that I assume is owned by the same people as IBT.

My take is it's mostly accurate, but I wouldn't use it as a primary source.
In fact I viewed the 1976 total eclipse in Oregon with binoculars.

It was a glorious sight, an experience of a lifetime.

I was on a hillside near The Dalles with other eclipse chasers. Many of us wore sunglasses and looked away from the sun before totality to get our eyes a bit dark-adapted. And then when someone called out "totality!" we turned around, took off the sunglasses and used our binoculars or telescopes if we had them, and viewed the corona directly.

And no, no eye damage.

It's only tangential but switching to fish shell made me about 3 times more productive. Being able to easily recall commands, to have completions displayed as I type, and to have interactivity be a first class citizen of the environment... made working in the shell so so so so much nicer.

Fish has its own quirks, some of which seem unnecessary, but it was a godsend. There is definitely still room for improvement of the old tools, a. lot. of. room.
I dunno. Some people really don't like being questioned.

I was porting a network management (SNMP) app to Java & Swing. The app had no documentation and I'd never done anything like SNMP before. The only requirements given were "make the Java app look and work exactly the same." Can do. To respect my manager's time, I batched my questions together for the upcoming 1:1. I was told that if I couldn't figure stuff out on my own, perhaps I should find another job. Um, ok, I guess I'll figure it out.

I was trying to explain why burying blocking I/O under layers of abstraction (Spring FTW), and just eating the exceptions (no logging), makes debugging the app a wee bit harder. The "senior architect" expressed surprise that someone with my experience didn't understand design patterns and brushed me off. Um, ok, I guess I'll just have the debugger break on every exception.

I considered myself tenacious, if not especially fast. And I have zero problem admitting "I don't know".

But experiences like this have made me gun shy.

This is how the news used to be regulated in the US. Before the Fairness Doctrine news was all over the place, during it was sane and rational, after .. well we're all living it.

When it comes to checks and balances, the news can be under regulated which allows for lies and corruption like we're seeing right now, it can be regulated in an unfair or bias way, or it can be regulated in a balanced way that doesn't restrict speech, it enhances it.

The US has already solved this problem for previous platforms. It needs to go back and put checks and balances back in, instead of letting corruption remove those checks and balances and keep it removed.

It's only a contradiction if you view the world extremely antagonistically — that Musk and Bezos have the prime and only goal of sitting on top of a pile of cash while the world burns around them.

If you see the world as Musk and Bezos building and deploying capital to build what they see as a better future, there's no contradiction at all. There's fierce disagreement about how we get to that future, but we all want the same general thing.
My least favorite fish quirk is that you cannot use stty to remap Ctrl-C. You need to use stty in another shell, then exec into fish to remap it.
I'm a huge fan on The Culture series; probably the most thought-provoking, eye-opening, mind-warping sci-fi ever written. I love the moral shades a gray that the books cover in intense detail. That said, I think the article's author glosses over a lot in order to present a capitalist vs. socialist narrative that feels a bit myopic.

I don't think reality is so black and white. I'm not sure The Culture could really be described as a marxist utopia, given the real power + means of production within The Culture is actually in the hands of so few. Nor does Bezos'/Elons' personal wealth necessarily have to be in conflict with their idealist view of the future.

This does make me want to re-read the Culture series again. I'm actually sad Amazon was unable to pick up the rights to make a TV series; that has potential to be such an incredible ride.
At $50 or more an hour, I’d rather they ask. If it’s a question where I think they could find the answer with a little more effort and I have the time, I’ll walk them through the discovery process myself.

Especially since the answer you arrive at after 30 minutes struggling may appear to be correct but have implications you don’t understand. This one bites people a lot, myself included.
It's entirely possible Musk and Bezos prefer being Musk and Bezos, even at the cost of ensuring other people don't become them, in a scarcity society.

Yet simultaneously prefer a post-scarcity future in which everyone is Musk and Bezos.

Fixed the wording to make it a bit more clear, thanks. Connecting doxing as a privacy violation to free speech is a very interesting point that I didn't think about - I was thinking about data collection and tracking when talking about privacy violations.

For what you bring up with doxing, I don't think I have a very satisfying answer. I definitely won't advocate for keeping it on social media websites. But I can't advocate for all-powerful tools that would allow even for actually dangerous content like that to be tracked down and removed from everywhere, because there is no way to ensure that tools like that will not be abused.

Remove it from Twitter, block it on your own federation nodes, try to bring the perpetrators to justice, but, as painful as it is, you shouldn't have a magic button that would be able to completely eradicate that from the internet.

It would also be good to reduce data collection and to teach people to be more conscious of what they share to prevent private information from leaking to begin with.

Micron: 1α Process Technology to Reduce Costs by Up to 40%
Robobloq STEM Q-Dino 2 in 1 Metal Robot
In spring 2019 I ran a small robot club using the robobloq ecosystem. I liked that the robot frames are metal, had lots of features built into the control box, such as lights, a buzzer-speaker and a button and also it was much less expensive than more popular children’s robot learning kits. It was a positive experience and I recommend this and other Robobloq ecosystem products. I have purchased several Q-dino, Q-scout and Qoopers kits for this robot club. The servo actuator of the Q-dino is unique to this model and very versatile.
The club I had meet 6 times with a line-following competition at the end, I created a curriculum based on my experience as a maker, with each lesson building on the last. With kids being used to on-demand fast-paced entertainment it’s a challenge to slow down and think, especially when something does not work the first time, so knowledge of how to keep kids engaged helps. we all had windows-10 PCs to modify the programs and we learned about inputs like the ultrasonic sensor, line following sensor, the button and some of the bevy of special sensors I bought from their webstore, including a color sensor. Then we learned about outputs, like the led lights, the extra MP3 chip and the motors. Lastly, we spent two sessions debugging in preparation for a line following contest, with the scoring based on how many times the competitors had to touch the robot to correct something. There has to be a winner.

The software is based on the SCRATCH icon-based programing. this method is very easy for kids as young as 7 Y/O to use, so it’s very approachable. Also, the more advanced features keep older kids engaged. It can be programed to have more functions than I expected with the ability to program in music notes and beat length which is all that is needed to make familiar songs, which is fun for the music types.

People [would be] consuming the spam content being filtered agree with the filtering and are generally happy with it.

Failing that, when people are unhappy with their spam filter they can adjust or disable it.

As a last resort, they can migrate to another e-mail provider, there's no monopoly on e-mail. Moreover, e-mail is delivered almost equally between different providers.

Many people watching youtube or reading facebook are unhappy with their content policies. There's no way to control their filters or opt out of them. There's de-facto monopoly on these markets: the network effect is too strong, and antimonopoly laws don't seem to apply to their acquisitions of competitors.

I'd ask them where I should report phishing attempts.
My point was that — allowing that "the web" is just arbitrary 'stuff' at URLs, and that a "web browser" is a tool for viewing that arbitrary 'stuff' — there are always going to be novel non-standardized, proprietary document types residing at URLs, that people will nevertheless expect their web browser to display for them (and rightly so!)

How will users view these documents in a timely manner (i.e. not on the W3C's glacial schedule)? Whatever your answer, it's going to necessarily involve some kind of arbitrary code execution at some point. Whether that means Javascript; Java/ActiveX applets, or PPAPI (NaCl); Chrome Apps or other in-browser centrally-managed-lifecycle apps; installable NPAPI plugins like Flash; or COM component servers (as seen when e.g. IE/Edge is navigated to an .xlsx file URL.)

Presuming the user discovers they can't view document X, and therefore goes and hunts down tech Y and installs it to make X viewable, all such "tech Y" are equivalent in the sense that they're someone's arbitrary proprietary code, that the user is rolling the dice on hopefully allowing them to view X, while not doing anything other than allowing them to view X.
I don’t have any sources, just another anecdote. I live in Beijing, and one of my friends gets a headache whenever the air gets close to 200 AQI.

It's worth noting that Frederick's employees quit -- her statements on twitter angered her staff so much they no longer wished to associate with her.

That's not cancel culture. That's common sense. Don't make your coworkers so angry that they'd rather be jobless than spend time in your presence.

The freedom of speech isn't the freedom to speak without consequences. Frederick spoke her mind in a public square, and signed her name to those statements, and other people freely chose not to associate themselves with her. That's bound to happen from time to time. It's a free country.
